Xuandou was slightly surprised to hear this.
He had thought Mirai would keep making excuses, but the boy had actually laid his cards on the table.
"You mean you've already lived once, and now you've been reborn?"
Xuandou scrutinized his three-year-old son.
Seeing that Xuandou understood, Mirai slapped his thigh in excitement.
"Yes! That's exactly what I mean!"
Then he recounted everything that had happened in his previous life.
From the Raikage's rebellion and the Uchiha helping the Land of Lightning put it down, to the Akatsuki stirring up trouble before Xuandou finally subdued them, to the Land of Wind joining forces with the Land of Earth to launch a Great Shinobi World War, to the Uchiha unifying the Shinobi World, and finally, the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan who kept arriving.

"But later, more and more of them came, and they kept getting stronger."
"Until the last time, when four came at once. You couldn't beat them."

Unlike Shion's prophecy, Mirai had personally lived through all of this in his previous life.
He knew exactly how everything had happened.
Suddenly,
